Suite for Solo Violin by Adolphus Hailstork

Published by Theodore Presser.

Adolphus Hailstork's (b 1941) is one of the foremost African-American composers working today. His style and output cannot be pigeonholed as one type of music--he has written in all classical genres and finds as much inspiration in European models as he does in African-American culture.

Cast in a formal mold inspired by the Bach Partitas, Hailstork's four-movement Suite begins with a perky Prelude, followed by a March with a few subtle winks at music from the Prelude. The third movement is a beautiful Melody with slow-fast-slow form, and the Finale incorporates a few remembrances of the previous movements in building a dramatic drive to the finish. Master level, Grade 6.
